Great - thanks a lot! > Looks like device and filename are parsed out correctly but initrd > file reading fails with "File not found". Aye. This has been reported before. Did you change anything else than patch and rebuild FILO before/after you got this error? > Also, FYI, I removed the "initrd=hde3:/boot/initrd-2.6.22.img" > clause entirely from menu.lst and filo went into a loop, loading > the kernel over and over again. Yeah - it can't find initrd, so booting fails, then it retries, and can't find initrd, and iterate. > Finally, the spin-up delay patch given on the Build Tutorial does > not work.

My patch obviously breaks the ext2 driver. I'm afraid I currently don't have enough hardware to debug this myself and remote development is no fun so for now I have to recommend you skip the patch and suffer through the long loading times. But I really appreciate the feedback and debugging output! If you want to help further, then please set also E2DEBUG=1 in Config and rebuild FILO. That should give a lot more ext2 debug output which I would appreciate if you could send.
